This thesis will use a method of comparative analysis to analyze the changes of Pip’s character and value and analyzes internal and external causes of these changes. By analysis, we can see some important changes of Pip, and all of these changes are not only caused by the different social environments he is in, different people he meets, but also by his strong self-esteem. Pip’s self conceit almost leads him to lose himself and his dear friends who love him.
